Vineacraft: Hiatus (Not dead)

[Pokefenn]

i see. just try not fall into cross-mod balance trap and make things reliant on other mods.

Personally my opinion in some ways is based off if a mod can be used with little mods and in a massive modpack.

Also a question to everyone again,
Any one got some wacky idea's for vine harvesting? Currently the only way is MFR, and i dont like forcing use of other mods (I still will add good reasons to manually harvesting, but i still want automation!)

EDIT:
May i ask one simple question to everyone.
From what you have heard of the mod so far, would you play with it?

IDK, maybe...

(Probably yes)[DOUBLEPOST=1373737570][/DOUBLEPOST]

( deleted 'cause it was not working after edited)

When suplied with power, the harvestor will harvest the vines ~20 blocks directily in front of it. No upgrades.

well, i`d think it would be a good thing to create a "vine harvester" block, that would act similar to MFR . but would not harvest top block. to allow vines to grow down.

Or if everything was made to leave the top block? Like golems, MFR of course, forestry, etc.

Being the cockey idiot i am, i have decided that there will not be a pre alpha that will add tools, they will be redundant, i will jump the gun and try to add a machine or 2!
I have a few ideas in mind, just waiting for Pahimar's Dev Enviroment 3 to pan it out propperly!
And again, im reading my book atm, also going to try out Vswe's tutorials on java!

 

[FrankieTheSnake]

Pokefenn, if you like, I can ask my cousin for some tutorials on java (He's learning it now in school)​

 

[the_j485]

Well, Pokefenn, it seems as if your mod has finally started to come to fruition, it has been interesting seeing all the ideas for this, and I wish you all the best in coding it, I'm sure it will be a brilliant mod.
Alos, who will you credit

class noThanks

public static void main(String[] Args) {

char knowJavaBasics

if (knowJavaBasics == Yes) {

System.out.println("No thanks!")
}

else {
System.out.println("Why is this printing it, i already know some basics")

}

Thanks alot for the support!
I have got a few idea's for now, using the new Fluid API, but i dont want to say things too early.
Lets just say, a real mans power comes from vines!

And may i ask what you mean for crediting?
For ideas i will have a list of ideas that people have submitted that have been added.
And if you mean in textures etc, its in the mcmod file!

EDIT:
So i will put a big post in the next few days on a tech tree, be warned it will all be pendant, may be changed ALOT.
Let me just plot out a graph or 2!

 

[the_j485]

You can have my word to continue watchig this thread, and I will help as much as Ic an, with ideas and such, can't wait for the tech tree!

 

[Pokefenn]

So here is the tech tree, let me explain it in more detail.

All machines will run off VineJuice (NamePending).
Every single machine will also have a internal buffer to hold some liquid kinda like TE and its energy.
The mod IS focus'd on technology, very later on i will be adding voo-doo and such.
There will be no energy, just liquids being required to do jobs.
VineJuice will be burnable into MJ, EU and UE energy.
I may also allow other mods liquids though configs (Biomass)
There will be a way to take buckets out of the machines once it enters.
I will be adding special tanks and niche ways to transfer liquids.
VineJuice will be in the forge Fluids, thats why i havent talked much about this idea yet.

Please leave some feeback on this!

 

[FrankieTheSnake]

running on juice rather than on power, hm, never saw a mod that fully runs on fluid, new ideas are always good!

 

[Loufmier]

i cannot understand your idea on getting vienjuice. i just cannot get how can manual fermenter even exist? i`d understand if it was a manual squeezer, but fermenter?

Fermenter or squeezer, im stupid and this is pre pre pre pre alpha, this is just stuff that came out of my head and i wrote it out just now!
Im prob being a derp, and a squeezer will be better!
But apart from that, your opinions on the ideas?

I have a suggestion for the name, and new ideas:

1) Name: Vine Sap!

2) Idea: The sap can be infused and altered in different ways, like magical sap, or genetically altered sap.

GE sap can be put back into the vine to give it special abilities, like fast or slower climbing, fast growing, etc.

Magical sap can be used for better brewing and drinking for buffs.[DOUBLEPOST=1373812058][/DOUBLEPOST]

A manual fermenter might need stirring, and ingredients put in at the right time.

all of them look good, except fermenter part.

i think it would make sense to make 3(2) tiers of juice extraction:
1st tier manual squeezer. its manual(duh) like AE`s quartz grinder, with lowest efficiency
2nd tier forestry`s squeezer. more efficient.
3rd tier juice extractor. pretty much forestry`s squeezer but is the most efficient.

Mm, I might start streaming texturing. (From the_j485's suggestion.)

Or maybe a timelapse would be better.

Opinions?

Streaming, it means that i can be picky while you are still texturing >
Also, i will try to do a basic sketch later of a basic machine GUI.
And also, please tell me what everyones thoughts on VineSap (Will be the name!) being "power"?

Twitch seems to allow me to make videos. If I can, I'll do timelapses.

I'll try and put something in my signature that'll show when I'm texturing and stuff. No clue how to do that, though. Lol.

I think it will be very unique as a concept, hoping it gets put through!

 

[PeggleFrank]

It works!

Currently going to stream myself texturing, here.

Poke, suggest ideas as you like.

Also, I'll give tips to anyone who needs to know how to do stuff.
